I didn’t record any guitar tracks today, but I did get a nice chunk of work done, which sets me up to record guitars tomorrow.
I had four songs that were just a couple of eight bar phrases done with MIDI instruments. I worked all four of them into full song forms. Now I have something to play guitar on tomorrow. Nice, eh?
I also mixed two songs. I posted one earlier. Here’s the other. This is in the running for my Record Every Month submission for July. I kinda like this one, even though there are slight timing issues literally everywhere. It’s short and sweet and the chorus isn’t bad, even if the guitar leads are.
That’s three songs mixed. Only 47 more to go. I am 6% of the way finished!

Did you make songs from scratch? Like you add and mix all the beats by yourself? (I don’t know much about producing music, so I’m curious how you did)

Yup, they are all brand new songs and I am recording them by myself. Some of the instruments (drums mostly) are done with a computer rather than the real thing, but the guitars and the voices (and once in a while the saxophone) are really me.

That’s so cool. How long did it took to make a song? And you challenge yourself to make 90 songs is it?

There is an internet song writing challenge that asks you to write 50 new songs in 90 days between July 4 and October 1. That’s what I am playing with now. How long I spend on anything depends on the ideas. Some take forever, others take just a few minutes. None of them are very good, but I have a lot of fun pretending they aren’t terrible.
